BUFFALO BILLS

     The 1963 Buffalo Bills highlight film covers the big plays and players of nearly every game of the 1963 season, including the tie-breaking Eastern Division playoff game vs. the Boston Patriots played on a cold snowy Sunday in Buffalo.

     Most pro football experts picked the Bills to win the AFL East in ’63, but a terrible start in September (0-3-1 after four games) eventually cost them the Division Title. In last place going into October, the Bills played well from then on, despite several crippling injuries. In this rare film (this is the only copy known to exist) you’ll se the play that ended the career of young 22-year old rookie halfback Roger Kochman after only eight pro games. Other Bills missing playing time because of injuries were Dick Hudson, Bill Miller and Wray Carlton. Throughout the year QB Jack Kemp hit Elbert Dubenion and Miller with pinpoint passing and young understudy Daryle Lamonica also saw plenty of action. Cookie Gilchrest had a good year despite numerous small injuries.

     Throughout the film, Bills players of 1963 are shown in game action, including: Ernie Warlick, backs Freddie Brown, Wayne Crow, Glenn Bass and Eddie Rutkowski, Charlie Ferguson and defensive players Mike Stratton, Harry Jacobs, Mack Yoho, Willie West and John Tracey, just to name a few. Of course, the stars on other teams are covered also including Lance Alworth, Keith Lincoln and Paul Lowe of the Champion Chargers, Cotton Davidson and Clem Daniels of the Raiders, Len Dawson and Chris Burford of the Chiefs, George Blanda of the Oilers, Babe Parilli, Art Graham and Gino Cappelletti of the Patriots, Lionel Taylor of the Broncos and Don Maynard of the Jets. This is believed to be the first Buffalo Bills highlight film ever made.
